So, I do not really know if it is good or not but 7 months ago I was surprised to find myself with an HBA1c of 103mmol/mol. I started on insulin, and here on this forum discovered that lots of diabetics have a carb low diet. Kenny and Jo pointed me in that direction. It took 5.5 months to get...

So, it is 5 day of CGM and what have I found? First I needed to get rid of the red warnings of low events, for the first couple of days I had 4 warnings with a total of 10 hours below 3.8mmol/l. I know that these were not blood glucose but they are interstitial fluid readings, and I have no way...

So, my doctor recomended that I wear a CGM so that he can see whats going on with my type 2 diabetes. I did not feel the thing as it was fitted, and then I was told wait for an hour and it will come live. I paired it with my phone, and went off for coffee. So what did I see in the first 24...

So my doctor has recommended a CGM for 2 weeks before my next check-up. How will that help me, as at present I do random testing and fixed insulin dosing. Also is it necessary to replace the sensor after the 15 days or do people do without it for a couple of weeks before fitting the next sensor...

So, I have a question about type 2 diabetes. The other day I felt a hypo coming on, so I tested and found 3.8mmol/l, so I had a small sweet drink, and tested an hour later, when the test had gone to 3.9mmol/l. So happy with that I went to bed, but still did not feel very well. After an hour or...

So I was put on insulin before Christmas because my A1c was at 103. I found out about this forum at just about the same time. Here It was suggested that one answer to control of diabetes T2 was to go on a low carb diet. The thinking was no sugar going in will mean low BG levels and a reduced...

So, after 5 weeks of intensive interest in type 2 diabetes, I have read lots and have been doing my medications. I started a low carb diet, cutting out all of the food that I enjoy, and I started taking a SGLT2 inhibitor, two things that reduce sugar in my blood. Also I started basal and bosul...

Just before Christmas I started on the next part of my advetures with type 2 diabetes. So, I have just spent the past four weeks getting my mind around a low carb diet, to help lower my HBA1c and it has shifted from 103 down to 76 mmol/l which I am quite pleased with. I have good morning finger...

I have just got over the shock of my doctors words about using diabetic insulin pens. I knew that my regular finger blood tests were showing numbers in the mid 20's and I had expected him to just give me another tablet, and say see you in 6 months. However he changed the tablets and added a...

So, my neurologist suggested that I might be diabetic a couple of years ago, so I started taking the tablets. Halved the amount of sugar in my tea, and carried on as if nothing had happened. Regular blood testing every Sunday made it easy to eat little and make it 3 or 4 hours after eating...
